A Little Girl Found iiy her
Mother With a Rattlesnake in
her Lap.?Dennison, Tex., Jute 21.?
Mr. II. P. Heddeo, who resides Southwest
of Dennisoo, brought to the city
this morning his little child Sallie to be
treated for a snake bite. About G
o'elook this morning the littlo girl left
the house with a pail on hor arm to
gather blackberries near Stono Spring.
The child was expeoted to return homo
soon, as the family was to leave early to
pasa the day with a neighbor. The
child being absent something over an
hour, Mrs. Iladden proceeded to the
spring. Tho child was not thare, and
tho mother called hor name loudly several
timos. Receiving do response, sbo
1 _ ?L ! 1 ll 1 iL .
icit mo spring ana waiseu into mo
blackberry patch to hunt up tho child.
Passing through the patch sho saw a
scene which made her almoet faint with
horror. Tho child waa sealed on a
rock and in her lap waa a largo rattlesnako.
Tho child waa carrying the
snake, whose bead was slightly elevated
and moving to and fro. Sometimes
the snake's head would almost touch tho
lips of the child, who pushed it away
without appearing to anger the snalce.
The child was so completely under tho
spell of the serpent that it paid uo attention
to tho mother, who screamed so
loudly that her husband heard her a
quarter of a mile distart, and hurried
to the scene.
When Mr. Iledden appeared, tho
snake placed itself in an at tlude of battle,
and the air vibrated with the noise

upon tho snake, the child fell back as if,
in a swoon, and the snake struck it on
the thumb of the right hand, aud tlieu
sprang at Ileddcn, who killed it with
a stone. Ileddcn sucked the wound,
which, ho is confident, saved tho life of
the little girl, Salaratus was also applied
to the wound. Tho hand aud arm
of tho littlo girl were but very little
swollen when sho was brought to tho city
ior treatment.
The child Bays that sho was sitting
ou the rock picking berries wheu the
snako appeared, and that she was unable
to move when sho looked at it; that she
was uot afraid of it, and when it waved
its bead to aud fro in her face sho felt
like going to sleep.
]Jimned ins Wealth.?Franklin,
Ky, June 21.?This town is ngog with
cxnitouient to-night. William .1. Milton,
a woilthy and miserly old merchant
of this city, who is thought to be on
his deathbed, to-day staggered out of
his bed, which is back of his store, and
went into the store. Me was followed
hv an old neero. his attendant, whom lm
- j -? r? i ~
ordered to tako a certain nail keg ana
put it on the tiro in his room. The
keg was headed up at both eDds, and
he told the negro that it had a few nails
in it and souio old paper that ho wished
to destroy.
The negro did as he was directod, lit tic
dreaming that he was consigning to
the flatnen about S!U),000 in greenbacks
nnd government bonds, hut such was
n gentleman went in, nnd seeing a large
pilo of burnt nails in tho fireplace, and
what seemed to bo tho smoking rcmaius
of burnt paper, and suapiciouing that
nil was not right, began to make an examination
of tho ashes, and found what
to tho naked eye was plainly visiblo, a
hugo mnss of burned grceubacka aud
government -I per cent bonds.
Mr. Hilton has a wife and one child,
a profligate son, who has given him a
great deal of trouble, llo and his wife
have been separated for some time, and
there is now pending h suit lor divorce
ngd-alimony against him by hi? wife.
A great deal of bitterness ha* grown out
of the suit, and it is thought lie prelerlcd
to see his property in a>hes rather
than for his wife and son to inherit it. I
lie is not expected to livo many days,
apd is now too feeble to talk and refuses
to divulge anything. He has a great
antipathy for lawyer?, nnd hns said he
feared that his wife would get all he
had. A guard has been placed around

A Cotton Factory and Oil Mill, Both.
> A new impulse is moving the people of
Union, from which we believe a Cotton Fac
tory will he evolved.
I<ast week we suggested that the subscribers
to the Oil Mill hold up awhile and
take hold of the Cotton Factory ; hut the
01T Mill men didn't like the suggestien at
^ all, and even went so far as te assert that
our article was indiscreet and would retard,
materially, the progress of the Mill, while
4 it could not advance the prospects of a
j Cotton Factory; for it was out of the question
to think that Union could stand two
' such enterprises at the same time; and
I further, that the Oil Mill entcrpri?e had
progressed to a point where it could neither
stand still nor go backward. The raachia"
ery had been ordered, and some of it was
I on the road: and further still, the men
having the hi ill enterprise in charge, did
not intend to let it stand still, go backward,
or be merged into any other project. I
^ was a good thing for the town, county and
i stockholders, and they have determined
that it shall go forward. All they ask h
that the Farmers of the county identifj
II themselves with it, and give it their en1
couragcment, by subscribing to its stock,
15 providing it with nil the seed thoy can
'' spare from planting, in exchange for meal
for feeding stock or for fertilizing thcii
laud, or for cash.
'8
t They, however, will place no straw in
the way of a Cotton Factory, but aro encon
rag in s it in evory way possible, andsomi
1 of the Directors ef the Oil Mill are noe
' the largest subscribers on tho list for a Cotr"
ton Factory. In fact, the Oil Mill men an
1 now among the prime moving spirits of th
Factory enterprise; so that we hav
reason to hope that our suggestion of las
week, instead of doing injury to anything
e lias made the Oil Mill inorc solid am
aroused the factory advocates from thi
I lethargy into which they had fallen, who
! embracing the opportunity presented in th
prevailing spirit of enterprise now animat
| ii g our citizens, a~e again at work will
k i renewed hope and deter ined oncrgy t<
! secure subscriptions to the capital slock o
I a Cotton Factory here : and it is truly grati
o ' fying to loarn that tliey are meeting will
n I meat encouraging success. Wc understam
